Students study metabolic systems, explore chemical synthesis and issues including sustainability of resources and solving problems with waste management. Other areas include: polymers and their uses, ceramics and composite materials, cooking, investigating trends in changing fuel usage and the development of medicines. Space Science Students study: the place of the Earth within the Solar System and the Universe as a whole; the properties of stars and the behaviours of the planets held in orbit around them by gravity forces; the structure of the Universe and the technology used to gather evidence about it. Paris, je t adore sights, tourist information, describing a past visit with opinions pouvoir and aimer + infinitives / forming questions / the perfect tense of er verbs Gute Reise! buildings in a town, describing what you can do, describing holidays plans, using Students study the composition and structure of the Earth, including the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust, the processes of the rock cycle and the characteristics of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rock. The focus then moves to the Earth as a source of resources, and evaluating humanity s impact on the environment, including how human activities have affected the carbon cycle and the composition of the atmosphere. Energy Students study a wide range of energy transfers and energy resources with a particular focus on heating and cooling. They explore the advantages and disadvantages of different energy resources, evaluating their suitability for production of electricity. Students then investigate ways to control energy transfer. Finally students look at the calculations involved with energy transfer including work done, power and the costs of domestic electricity.
